This May, Get Powered by RED!

Not only is May Fitbloggin’ month (YEAH!) but did you know it’s also National Runners Month? In fact, our official “Recovery” sponsor, The Cherry Marketing Institute, will be co-hosting a Twitter party with Rebecca Scritchfield, MA, RD on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to talk about how diet plays a key role in managing post-exercise muscle pain and soreness – especially eating anti-inflammatory foods, like tart cherries. Studies show that cherries contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins – responsible for cherries bright RED color — that may help the body recover more effectively after a tough workout. Join the Twitter party and learn more helpful tips and where to find great-tasting recipes to fuel the body for performance. Best of all, you’ll have a chance to win awesome prizes.

Be sure to follow @ScritchfieldRD and @ChooseCherries with #MeFirst and #RedRecovery on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to participate! I’ll be there, too!

And, stop by the Cherries booth at the Fitbloggin’ expo for a Red Recovery Break to sample tart cherries and learn more about the fruit’s unique recovery benefits.
